Nice marmoratus. Common species in the field but not seen all that much in captivity.

They are strictly arboreal or a crevice inhabiting species so you should include climbing equipment like sticks, logs, vines and also secure crevices similar to what is used in small goanna cages (like rock stacks).

Good Luck with them and Yes, any with dropped tails, they will regenerate but not as good looking.

Not usually. Stone geckos are Diplodactylus vittatus for Eastern Stone gecko or D.granariensis for Wheatbelt/ Western Stone gecko

Look on google and compare them. Although, most Diplodactylus are generally Terrestrial Geckos and stay on the ground, I suppose the colouring of C.marmoratus and D.vittatus is a little similar although the patterning is quite different I think..

How much were you charged for your Stone gecko(s)?

Very cute. I have been looking into getting some myself. How much did you pay for them, if you don't mind me asking? I have been told that they are hard to get in Vic at the moment and that i might have to wait a few months.
